Tverberg's theorem is one of the cornerstones of discrete geometry. It states that, given a set $X$ of at least $(d+1)(r-1)+1$ points in $\mathbb R^d$, one can find a partition $X=X_1\cup \ldots \cup X_r$ of $X$, such that the convex hulls…

Tverberg's theorem states that any set of $t(r,d)=(r-1)(d+1)+1$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be partitioned into $r$ subsets whose convex hulls have non-empty $r$-fold intersection. Moreover, generic collections of fewer points cannot be so…

Given a finite set of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, Tverberg's theorem guarantees the existence of partitions of this set into parts whose convex hulls intersect. We introduce a graph structured on the family of Tverberg partitions of a given…

We prove a generalization of the topological Tverberg theorem. One special instance of our general theorem is the following: Let $\Delta$ denote the 8-dimensional simplex viewed as an abstract simplicial complex, and suppose that its…

We introduce a new ``Winding Number Conjecture'' about maps from the $(d-1)$-skeleton of the $((d+1)(q-1))$-simplex into $\real^d$. This conjecture is equivalent to the Topological Tverberg Theorem. Furthermore, many statements about the…

A seminal theorem of Tverberg states that any set of $T(r,d)=(r-1)(d+1)+1$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be partitioned into $r$ subsets whose convex hulls have non-empty $r$-fold intersection. Almost any collection of fewer points in…

The topological Tverberg theorem claims that for any continuous map of the (q-1)(d+1)-simplex to R^d there are q disjoint faces such that their images have a non-empty intersection. This has been proved for affine maps, and if $q$ is a…

The Topological Tverberg Theorem claims that any continuous map of a (q-1)(d+1)-simplex to \R^d identifies points from q disjoint faces. (This has been proved for affine maps, for d=1, and if q is a prime power, but not yet in general.) The…

A theorem of Tverberg from 1966 asserts that every set $X\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ of $n=T(d,r)=(d+1)(r-1)+1$ points can be partitioned into $r$ pairwise disjoint subsets, whose convex hulls have a point in common. Thus every such partition…

The well know theorem of Tverberg states that if n > (d+1)(r-1) then one can partition any set of n points in R^d to r disjoint subsets whose convex hulls have a common point. The numbers T(d,r) = (d + 1)(r - 1) + 1 are known as Tverberg…

We prove a new theorem of Tverberg type which confirms the conjecture of Blagojevic, Frick, and Ziegler about the existence of "balanced Tverberg partitions" (Conjecture 6.6 in, Tverberg plus constraints, Bull. London Math. Soc., 46 (2014)…

We prove a Tverberg-type theorem using the probabilistic method. Given $\varepsilon >0$, we find the smallest number of partitions of a set $X$ in $R^d$ into $r$ parts needed in order to induce at least one Tverberg partition on every…

Let $T(d,r) = (r-1)(d+1)+1$ be the parameter in Tverberg's theorem, and call a partition $\mathcal I$ of $\{1,2,\ldots,T(d,r)\}$ into $r$ parts a "Tverberg type". We say that $\mathcal I$ "occurs" in an ordered point sequence $P$ if $P$…

Let $P$ be a set $n$ points in a $d$-dimensional space. Tverberg's theorem says that, if $n$ is at least $(k-1)(d+1)+1$, then $P$ can be partitioned into $k$ sets whose convex hulls intersect. Partitions with this property are called {\em…

Tverberg's theorem says that a set with sufficiently many points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can always be partitioned into $m$ parts so that the $(m-1)$-simplex is the (nerve) intersection pattern of the convex hulls of the parts. The main results…

We give a new proof Tverberg's famous theorem: For every set $X \subset \R^d$ with $|X|=(r-1)(d+1)+1$, there is a partition of $X$ into $r$ sets $X_1,\ldots,X_r$ such that $\bigcap_{p=1}^r \conv X_p\ne \emptyset$. The new proof uses linear…

This paper presents a new variation of Tverberg's theorem. Given a discrete set $S$ of $R^d$, we study the number of points of $S$ needed to guarantee the existence of an $m$-partition of the points such that the intersection of the $m$…

This paper discusses Tverberg-type theorems with coordinate constraints (i.e., versions of these theorems where all points lie within a subset $S \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and the intersection of convex hulls is required to have a non-empty…

The Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres conjecture states that any set of more than $2^{n-2}$ points in the plane with no three on a line contains the vertices of a convex $n$-gon. Erd\H{o}s, Tuza, and Valtr strengthened the conjecture by stating that any…

Tverberg-type theory aims to establish sufficient conditions for a simplicial complex $\Sigma$ such that every continuous map $f\colon \Sigma \to \mathbb{R}^d$ maps $q$ points from pairwise disjoint faces to the same point in…
